Life... Death.. What's it all about?

My mom has advanced stage of cancer and it may have spread to the liver. Survivability? Well to be very frank, do you really want to survive in this country? So for me, I am taking things stoically. The bad news came one after the other. First it was that it was a tumour and that it was quite large. So most probably stage 2 or 3. Then later it became "it may have spread to the liver and if this is the case survivability is 30%". For me, I considered the fact very calmly and also very sanely. We will do everything we can for my mom, but the most important thing is to make her comfortable. She knows nuts... so no use asking her.. She does not want to die, but also does not want to have any pain... So now the question is which is she willing to take... Hey... you can't have your cake and eat it mah....

Chemo therapy is painful both physically and also mentally. It makes you feel like shit and your hair drops and so on. Mom has always been very vain and also very conscious of how she looks. So will she take it? Can she take it? It is also long and costly... So the question is put to the government... Will you make a law that will force us to look after our parents? Hey... you claim everything is cheap or subsidised... Look at my uncle.. he also has cancer and has had half his intestines removed... He will also go for chemo soon... He stayed in the hospital for almost a mth.... Who is paying for this? Subsidised? To some people, even $30 a day is a problem.... Imagine... without meds.. without operations, without anything... you have to pay $900... That is the monthly income for some people... So what do poor people do??? Hope to die.... What about children with parents with chronic diseases???

If my mom's bill comes to 100k... and she dies... how can I afford her funeral?? What can we do as children... Only hope for the best and treat the problem as it arises.... I heard a story of a man who used to be a very successful businessman with a lot of money and big property. Now his children are bankrupt because he got cancer and through the years of treatment, all he earned and all the savings of his children were used up. When he boasts that he still has money... his children do not dare to tell him that he has used it all up... What will the gahmen do for these people?

If we live in a meritocratic society and we are based on merit... do these old folks who have given so much to the country not merit anything?

Ladies and gentlmen... we are so screwed... seriously...
